I practiced medicine in ancient times

"Mom, how do you feel?" Li Wanqiu asked with concern after seeing her mother wake up.

At the same time, she felt relieved.

"I'm cold, weak and uncomfortable." Madam Li said in an inaudible and weak voice.

"Please ask Doctor Xu to prescribe medicine for my mother." Mrs. Li asked Xu Qingyi.

"This prescription is used to treat typhoid fever. After the fever is cured, you can take this kidney-nourishing porridge. Just take one bowl at noon and evening every day.

In the evening, boil the water according to this prescription for 25 minutes and let the old lady soak her feet.

Before going to bed at night, you can also ask the servants to massage the old lady's waist to strengthen the kidney qi. "After a while, Xu Qingyi wrote three prescriptions for the old lady of the Li family, one for treating typhoid fever, one for nourishing kidney porridge, and one for external foot bath.

育肾粥，枸杞子30克、粉丹皮9克、生地6克、杭白芍6克洗净，用干净纱布包好，与黑米9克、红高粱米9克一起煮。

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that black can enter the kidneys and red can enter the heart, so wolfberry, black rice and other four medicinal ingredients can strengthen the spleen and stomach and nourish the lungs and kidneys.

During the White Dew solar term, the Yang energy of heaven and earth begins to converge inward, and the kidney is responsible for storing Yang energy, so at this time the kidney begins to collect Yang energy, collecting Yang energy in preparation for the winter.

It is most appropriate to drink nourishing kidney porridge.

As for external foot soaking, soaking your feet in hot water can stimulate many acupoints on the feet, thereby nourishing kidney qi, regulating internal organs, and dredging meridians, thereby protecting and nourishing the kidneys.

However, Xu Qingyi prescribed a kidney-tonifying foot bath prescription that could achieve twice the result with half the effort.

White dew turns into frost, and massaging the waist can protect the kidneys, because the waist is the home of the kidneys. The kidneys are nourished by warmth, and massaging the waist frequently can help strengthen kidney qi.

Rub the waist and coccyx with your palms to dredge the belt meridian, strengthen the waist and spine, and strengthen the kidneys. After rubbing your hands together until they are warm, press the waist tightly and rub up and down until you feel the heat. The kidney opens up to the ears, so rubbing the ears frequently is also a simple and effective way to protect the kidneys.

With these three approaches, the old lady Li's condition will surely improve quickly.

Later, under Xu Qingyi's careful care, the old lady of the Li family gradually improved from her typhoid fever. The Li family also followed Xu Qingyi's instructions and let the old lady take kidney-nourishing porridge every day at noon and in the evening. The porridge has a mellow taste, which can nourish the body and regulate the internal organs. After taking it for a period of time, the old lady felt better and her sleep was much better.

In the evening, the servants of the Li family prepared water for the old lady to soak her feet according to Xu Qingyi's prescription. The old lady sat in a comfortable chair, enjoying the warmth of the hot water and the efficacy of the prescription, and felt that her body and mind were greatly relieved. While soaking her feet, the servants also massaged the old lady's waist, dredged the belt meridian, strengthened the waist and spine, and consolidated the essence and benefited the kidneys.

Of course, these are things to follow.

"It seems that I still need to buy a set of silver needles. Otherwise, if there is any emergency, it will be difficult to provide first aid without the silver needles." After leaving the Li family's gate, Bai Yan took the purse that Madam Li gave to her and Qingyi, and she said with some distress.

Lack of money, can’t afford it.

Before this, she had spent several taels of silver to make a set of surgical instruments.

All this money was saved by her and Qingyi. They basically spent all the money they earned from treating patients on this, which resulted in Qingyi not having a set of silver needles of her own.

"You have already made the surgical instruments. Now you need to save up money to buy silver needles for me.

At least seven silver needles are needed. I found a set at the silver shop for four taels of silver. I can save up for two months and go to Li's house for more consultations, and then I will have enough money." Xu Qingyi was also eager to buy a set of silver needles so that she could give acupuncture to people and save lives.

After all, no matter how skilled your medical skills are, without the right tools, it will be difficult to achieve the best results.

Silver needles, as one of the commonly used treatment tools in traditional Chinese medicine, play a very important role in treating various difficult and complicated diseases.

Silver needles are indispensable for some acute and complicated diseases, and even for ordinary medical treatment and saving lives.

"Seven silver needles are too few, we should buy at least fourteen or twenty-one, twenty-seven would be the best.

After all, for some diseases, more silver needles are needed for acupuncture. If fewer are used, the effect will be greatly reduced.

I saw that the silver shop offered 11 taels of silver for a set of 21 silver needles. Let's save some money and buy that set." Bai Yan narrowed his eyes and made a decision in his heart.

"Okay, then let's save money to buy that set of twenty-one silver needles." Xu Qingyi did not refuse. Just as Bai Yan said, after all, some diseases require more silver needles for acupuncture. If there are fewer, the effect will be greatly reduced.

It’s better to do it in one step and buy some extra silver needles as a backup.

"Doctor Li, the medicine you gave my cow is not working. Can you go and take a look at my cow again?" At the door of Huichun Clinic, a middle-aged man said to Doctor Li with a bitter face.

"This... I don't have any other options. Not only did I see your Niu, but Doctor Wu and Doctor Wen also saw him. They also prescribed medicine for him, but it didn't work and I have no other options.

It's fine for you to let me treat people, but we have never treated cows, and cows can't talk, so we don't know where to start." Doctor Li said with embarrassment.

He also knew that a cow was a very valuable asset to a farmer, not only because they could plow the fields and pull carts, but also because they represented the farmer's hard work. One cow could replace the work of several adult workers.

He knew that if the cow was not treated in time, it might die, which would be a huge loss for the farmer. After all, a cow would cost at least ten or even twenty taels of silver to buy.

Doctor Li and his colleagues tried their best to treat the cow, but they only knew how to treat humans and the cow couldn't speak, so they were helpless.

"What should I do?" The strong man was so anxious that he almost cried.

However, Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan, who had just returned to the clinic, heard what Doctor Li and the strong man said. After they looked at each other, smiles appeared on their faces.

The two of them immediately understood each other tacitly.

"Doctor Li, Bai Yan and I have nothing to do, why don't we go over and take a look?" Xu Qingyi walked forward and asked Doctor Li with a smile.

"Can you do it?" The sturdy man saw that the two girls in front of him were not very old, but after seeing that they were wearing the clothes of disciples of the medical clinic, he suddenly became skeptical.

"Whether it works or not, you won't know until you try it." Bai Yan shrugged and said indifferently.

Anyway, she is not the one who is in a hurry, and it is someone else who needs help. She just wants to take advantage of the opportunity.
